No, sorry, my dear. I'm applying to Dundee this year for Adult Nursing, but I do wish you the best in getting in. I've sent my application away earlier last week and recently got an acknowledgement email. Mind you, from the subjects you've chosen I think you'll have the points no problem, you have quite well balanced subjects.

I can't discuss interviews as it's against university policy and will make it unfair towards other applicants. My advice would be to relax, not overthink it. I was really nervous last year. Come out thinking I'd ruined it but I'm now starting first placement as of today😊
Be confident. Show your passion for the profession and be open about what makes you want to be a nurse.
As for what to wear, something smart/casual. Leggings, dress, skirt, something along those lines.

Thank you so much for the advice, I wish you the best of luck at your placement! I'll do my best, and hopefully all will turn out well. Xx

Likewise.

I'm struggling with History and Math at this moment :/ What route did you guys take for History? Have you or will you cover WW1, WW2, Cold-War and/or Japan, Italian, and German expansions and international relations?

Oh gosh, I know how you feel, I'm struggling with Economics and Italian. I believe I cover WW1, Weimar Germany, Hitler (Rise to power, Aims, Policies, Lead up to WW2), Germany Expansions and international relations, Japan, Italy, Spanish Civil War, Falklands War, Russia for HL (Alexander II till end of Lenin/rise of Stalin) I think I still have the Chinese Civil war, Stalin and potentially Mao to study yet.

At GCSE I studied the Cold War, our teachers are under the belief that we still know it as a 'just in case'... we really don't remember.

I may have missed something out but that's all I can remember from the top of my head.

What course are you doing? Is it the same? Out of the whole history course, I feel like learning about Germany is so far the hardest part.

I see. That's a lot haha. But you are an HL student so it makes sense. Tbh I'm not sure, I believe we are doing route 2 of the History course.

This site will help; http://www.activehistory.co.uk/ib-history/ib-history-syllabus.php
It gives you the break down as you have a set criteria of what you need to study I.e. You have at least two dictators and two civil wars.

Thank you so much :biggrin:

Does this apply for the 2016 History syllabus? I don't know if you've heard but questions in the new syllabus are a lot more broad and I've had trouble finding them online as this years syllabus is new. So once again thanks a lot.

Haha, when I want to access the Cold-War study guide it requires me to log in xD Do you know any account I can use?

A lot of it is accessible though, this is great :smile:

No problem, my dear. Yep, it's updated to the most recent syllabus. The questions are actually easier, they're very similar to previous questions, howevr the questions no longer force you to do compare two particular wars; you can choose which wars to use to answer the question. Has your teacher not gone through with it with you? Xx

Haha no xD Our school is new in the IB and the teachers don't know anything. We have to somewhat survive by ourselves :/ So thank you for this.
